About this property

The Cod Beachside Getaway

Guests tell us some of many things they love about our beach house is that it has a great energy, with lots of space to take some time for yourself or to gather together with friends and family. The fact that at the height of the season Dromana is an easy drive from Melbourne, avoiding the bottlenecks that begin at Rosebud. Saving you time, making this an easy journey. They truly feel that they are getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life or the busier peninsula beach towns. Easy access to the Wineries, Cellar doors, markets and Dromana’s own thriving attractions.

We have made sure that our property has all the amenities to ensure you have a relaxing holiday. Creating an amazing space that promotes relaxation, rejuvenation and fun times together.

Perfectly located at the foot of Arthurs Seat, and the Eagle Chair lift, this gorgeous family friendly getaway is truly amazing!

The beautiful Bay Beach and foreshore are just at the bottom of the street, with a short stroll to the many shops, restaurants, ice cream parlours and playgrounds.

The Big 3 Drive In Cinema is close by, it’s one of only 16 in the whole of Australia! Kids love the experience while you reminisce; Book and experience the magic. We have extra blankets at the house that you can take to stay comfy while you watch your chosen movie.

Dromana boasts a Rum Distillery, excellent micro Breweries, Dairy and Vegan Cheeseries, A fantastic Coffee Roasting company that sells quality coffee and beans which they will grind to your specifications. Take some back to the house to make your morning brew! Millers bread kitchen also provides great Gluten Free options.

Close by the property you’ll find the historic Heronswood House and Gardens. Just make sure you leave some time to stop for some organic fare, and enjoy a coffee at their cafe. Discover the rest of the Peninsula from this central location. The wineries in Red Hill and Merricks, and the Hot Springs at Rye are all just a short drive away.

Come in, kick off your shoes, settle down and relax. This gorgeous Californian bungalow has a warm and welcoming feel, perfect for all seasons .

In the well equipped kitchen, you'll find a barista coffee machine available for your use. If you love your coffee. Take your favourite fresh espresso grind. We provide some tea, instant coffee, sugar, oil and some basic pantry items for your convenience.

The tranquil front lounge has a wood burning open fireplace and comfy sofas. Perfect to relax with a book or to catch up with each other and enjoy a glass of wine. The fire is wonderful in winter.

There is full ducted heating to keep everyone cosy and warm in colder weather, and in summer the evaporative system throughout the house will keep everyone cool, which works remarkably well, allowing for open doors with cool air. There are pedestal fans provided if preferred.

The dining table seats 8 comfortably which leads through to the open plan well equipped kitchen and an additional lounge area with a flat screen smart TV and stereo system.

With 5 good sized bedrooms there is plenty of space for everyone. The master queen bedroom is at the front of the house with an ensuite and walk in robes.

When you open the french doors, from the hallway and lounge room, the space becomes accessible and fluid.

Great house for a large group
Plenty of outdoor space for meals or kids to play, even for yoga in the morning sun. Lots of indoor space for cooking and talking. Super comfy rooms and just a short walk to a lovely beach. Thoroughly recommended.

Perfect family getaway
Great family holiday. Our son is in a wheelchair and we were able to make this home work by bringing our portable ramp to navigate the 2 front steps up on to a great size front deck. Great precision driving to get in through the normal size front door, but once inside the layout was great. The bathrooms are not accessible for a wheelchair user, but we booked knowing this. The outside deck was a perfect place to unwind. The beds were super comfortable, kitchen well equipped. The location was fantastic, we enjoyed all our walks to the beach, eateries and shops. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again. Pollyanna was lovely to deal with. Thanks Pollyanna for a wonderful stay

Love this home
Came back sooner than expected, due to fires near our home. Everything we loved about it the first time as we have a son in a wheelchair we loved even more the second stay. All the conveniences of an easy family getaway are at this home. Location, comfortable beds, great showers, well equipped kitchen, spacious, great flow to the home and out onto the deck. For a wheelchair user a portable ramp we bought from home got our son up onto the front large veranda. Front door is normal size, so careful navigation through the doorway, but once in, wide hallway leads into the open living spaces and the master bedroom.Pollyanna is exceptional to deal with. A wonderful host. We will definitely be back . Highly recommend

Beautiful spacious house!
We all really enjoyed this house for our group of three families. It had everything you could want in the house/ kitchen, was very clean and so easy to walk down to the beach! We visited the Hot Springs which were really close by, and had great takeaway from local shops. The check in/ out process and communication was excellent and we would not hesitate to stay again, thanks!!

Near beach stay
Nice property, well stocked with cookware and bits & pieces and fits a decent crowd. We had 6 adults and 5 kids, adults in 4 separate groups (2 couples, 2 singles) which made it a tad squeezey but worked out all ok. Easy walk down to the beach, short drive to the shops. Exactly what we were after. Good comms from the owner beforehand and throughout our stay.
